Original story:

Facilities Services Manager Chad Dragan said the outage has led to the closure of all restrooms and most dining facilities on campus. All air conditioning on campus is out of operation as well.

Rentto said campus will remain open but classes were cancelled through 3:15 p.m., with additional information to be provided at a later point regarding classes that occur after 3:30 p.m. She said non-essential personnel were free to leave at any point were are encouraged to take the trolley to avoid traffic.

Rentto said it is currently unclear when the water will be turned back on. City of San Diego utilities workers were working to resolve the issue.
